When seeking answers to questions regarding courses or your degree, here is a list of some important resources. For more information, see {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont coe.berkeley.edu/advising}.

\section*{ESS Advising}

Your ESS Adviser is located in 230 Bechtel and is available via appointment.
Have a quick question?
Drop in on Wednesday from 9 AM – 11:30 AM and 1 PM – 3:30 PM. For a specific time allotted exclusively to you, you are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with your adviser, avoiding any excess waiting during the drop-in period. Schedule an appointment at {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont coe.berkeley.edu/ESS}.

Your adviser will suggest a reasonable curriculum for you to follow at Cal. This is the adviser you want to talk to concerning requirements for your major. They also answer such questions regarding breadth requirements, changing of majors, transfer/AP credit, and engineering-related paperwork. Especially if you are unsure of your major (or if you would like to double major), ESS advisers are there for you.

For further questions, feel free to call or email Engineering Student Services, (510) 642-7594, or email {\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont ess@coe.berkeley.edu}.

\textbf{Energy Engineering students} should see Chaniqua Butscher ({\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont chaniqua@berkeley.edu}).

\textbf{Engineering Math and Statistics and Environmental Engineering Science students} should see Olivia Chan ({\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont oychan@berkeley.edu}).

\textbf{Engineering Physics students} should see Bryan Jones ({\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont bkjones@berkeley.edu}).

\textbf{Undeclared students} should see Joey Wong ({\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont joeywong@berkeley.edu}).

\section*{Departmental Advising}

Engineering Science’s departmental advisers answer registration questions, describe courses, interpret departmental policy, and make referrals to resources on campus. They are incredible people to get to know and work with. They are dedicated to supporting you both as an Engineering Science student and as a human.

\textbf{All students should see Felicia Bautista for departmental advising.} Her office is in 750 Davis Hall and she has drop-in advising during: Mondays, 1 - 4 PM, Tuesdays 9 AM - Noon, Thursdays 1 - 4 PM, Fridays 9 AM - Noon \& 1 - 4 PM. All other times are by appointment only.

\textbf{For Undeclared Engineering majors, the adviser is Joey Wong.} His office is in 230 Bechtel.

\section*{Faculty Advising}

In addition to your ESS Adviser, every Engineering Science student is assigned to one member of the faculty in his/her given field of study.
The Engineering Science Department assigns your faculty adviser, and you will be notified of the name of your adviser shortly after your arrival at UC Berkeley. If you develop a good relationship with your faculty adviser, he or she can be an invaluable resource, providing insightful, experience-based knowledge to help guide you through your years at Cal. This is the adviser you approach with specific questions regarding courses and instructors. They have a better understanding of which courses are best and most pertinent to your studies and can also provide detailed descriptions of classes. They will also approve your schedule when enrollment begins (at our Pizza with Professors event every semester) and make sure that you are meeting all of your academic requirements while maintaining good academic standing in your department.

In addition, your faculty adviser can be a friend in your department who can recommend you for research and job opportunities, as well as serving as a good source of reference for graduate school. Your faculty adviser is usually available during his or her office hours, and sometimes by appointment.

\section*{Other Advising}

The College of Engineering runs a \textbf{Peer Adviser} program to assist ESS advising. The advisers are engineering upperclassmen and can help you find the right forms, answer quick questions, or chat about life. They are located in 230 Bechtel. More information at this link:

{\fontfamily{qcr}\selectfont engineering.berkeley.edu/student-services/advising/peer-advising}

The \textbf{Center for Access to Engineering Excellence (CAEE)} in 227 Bechtel Hall has two professional staff advisers and a learning support specialist available for all engineering undergraduates. There are new student programs, tutoring for introductory classes, and workshops throughout the school year. More information at this link:

Often, the most reliable information and opinions come from your peers. We encourage you to \textbf{get involved in clubs} like SES so that you can network with upperclassmen and seek their advice. Additionally, clubs are generally a great source of academic resources, including academic advising sessions and peer-counseling.
